Chinese university students condone premarital sex: survey
October 19, 2004
Beijing - In a survey of four universities in southeastern China's Fujian
Province, 92 percent of students said they accept premarital sex, according to
a report in China Youth Daily.
The 92 percent of the 192 students surveyed think sex before marriage is
acceptable under one of the situations: planning to marry, loving each other or
both partners wanting to have sex.
Twenty-seven percent of interviewees think they have sex in order to prove the
fidelity of love to their partners, 26 percent said they do it to seek for
sexual pleasure, 25 percent said they do not want to reject the desire of their
boyfriend of girlfriend,while 10 percent said it is a symbol of maturity.
In the survey, chastity is not put in the spotlight among the 20 factors
influencing the selection of a partner, such as personality, appearance,
education, occupation, income, health and social ability. About half of the
students surveyed even do not include chastity in the list of top ten factors.
The organizers of the survey, Cheng Ling, Liang Meifeng and Yang Ri, all
university teachers, said in their paper based on the survey that the lack of
sex education and ignorance about relevant consequences are common among
university students. Some students face unwanted pregnancy and venereal
diseases.
Experts think that it cannot be simply judged right or wrong for university
students' sexual behavior. They suggest that universities and colleges provide
more physical and psychological knowledge about sex.
